It’s about that time of the month everyone! The stock market has been wild and rampant, with dips, swings up, going upside down, normal side right, well you get the picture. The Dividend Diplomats have strung together a few companies we are analyzing during this month of September to see what we can create or add to within our portfolio. Essentially volatility can be great, if it means the companies are fundamentally strong but that overreaction to external and macro events are causing the push down in prices across the board – thus opening up opportunities for us dividend investors. Come and see what is on our dividend stock watch list!

Small Dividend Increases from Big Companies This Year
As I sit here with the desire to “crank out” an article before the day starts (going for an 8 minute post) – it dawned on me that this year hasn’t been the “strongest” in terms of dividend increases for large companies that we all share, hold and love. Some are even dividend aristocrats that increase their dividend year, after year, after year. Some are big name companies that over the last 5 to 10 years have had large or more than the average dividend growth rates, say between 5 and 15% increases, vs the 0-5% increases from some of the others. This has been a very different year for dividend investors as we navigate the playing field and start seeing action events from companies on their annual increases, which – we can’t blame them at all, given the facts displayed out below. Let’s see what I’m talking about so far this year, with 5 examples of companies that haven’t provided that historical or thought of dividend increase year. Continue reading
Lanny’s Recent Purchase – EMR
It’s the middle of the month and well, you know the Dividend Diplomats have a tough time sitting on the side lines during market movements! Given that the market has been on a rollercoaster ride lately, and mostly down over the last few weeks, it was time to add more income for less and take advantage of a discounted aristocrat of a company I already owned. I was excited to round the position out even further, and thought – I think the future me will be happy for it. Let’s take a look at the recent add to my current position of Emerson Electric (EMR):

Procter & Gamble (PG) Stock Analysis
It’s close to the middle of the month and the market has still been extremely volatile. With that, I know that opportunities are out there, wonderful opportunities, especially dividend stocks that are aristocrats. Yields are looking fairly unusually high for a few of the aristocrats that do not historically have them at these levels. This makes us all extremely motivated and excited investors as our dividends are reinvested at better valuations and also opens up the table for buying potential! With that, we will analyze one of the dividend aristocrats in Procter & Gamble or PG.
Dividend Diplomats August Watch List
It’s already mid-August and us Diplomats haven’t came out with our watch list yet. The market has been a rollercoaster ride, to which I hope everyone this summer has had some sort of an amusement happen, gone to a theme park, taken a day or so off to take it all in. Well, we were back to the lab and doing research on finding what stocks we are looking at. Enough with it – lets see what is on our August watch list!
Edgewell Personal Care Company (EPC): A Dividend Focused Spin-off Coming
Over the past few days, I stumbled on an interesting stock that I wanted to share with the community. While I haven’t shared this habit of mine with the dividend investing community in a long time, I have always monitored spin-offs to try to find potential new dividend stocks that are getting ready to (or have recently) hit the market. This strategy has worked well for me in the past, as I stumbled on the fact that Kraft was going to be a dividend paying stock and was lucky enough to catch the company prior to their build up (which occurred long before the announced Heinz-Merger). So why am I bringing this up? Well, beginning July 1, a dividend focused spin-off is getting ready to hit the open market and man has it caught my attention. I wanted to take some time to introduce you to the newly formed Edgewell Personal Care Company.
